Written by scott on January 2nd, 2013

Pastors in Uganda, including a British man, have marked the New Year by demanding politicians speed up passage of the ‘kill the gays bill’.

Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill was widely expected to go before parliament before Christmas but was delayed. It further criminalizes homosexuality and even demands the death penalty for repeat ‘offenders’ among others.

Uganda’s leading newspaper, the Daily Monitor, which has a monthly readership of 1million online reported from churches and sports stadiums on preachers demanding action.
